Belinder Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Kansas, with a statewide ranking between 15-46 over the past 10 years. The school's students consistently outperform the district and state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 72.13% of Belinder students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 57.24% for the district and 44.47% for the state. Belinder Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 15.3 to 16.6 over the past few years, and its per-student spending of $9,641 in the 2018-2019 school year is slightly higher than the district average.

When comparing Belinder Elementary to the nearby schools in the Shawnee Mission Public School District, several interesting observations can be made. Westwood View Elementary and Corinth Elementary, both within the same district, also rank among the top elementary schools in Kansas, demonstrating the district's commitment to providing high-quality education across its schools. However, some nearby schools, such as Roesland Elementary and East Antioch Elementary, have significantly higher percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, which may contribute to the performance gaps observed between the schools.
